Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide on Co-, Ni-, and Cu-containing Catalysts Prepared by Pyrolysis of Metal -Diketonates on Synthetic Foamed Ceramics

Abstract

Catalytic systems containing Co, Ni, and Cu composite coatings prepared by gas-phase thermolysis of metal acetylacetonates and hexafluoroacetylacetonates on synthetic foamed ceramics were suggested for oxidation of CO to CO2. The relative activities of the catalysts and the kinetic and activation parameters of CO oxidation were determined. The catalytic activity depends on the catalyst preparation procedure.
